What wiper blades do you use?

I have 13” wiper blades, I put some refills on. They suck. Got some replacement ones that are stainless from Amazon last night. They are United Pacific brand. They are too small for the bayonet style arm. Which stainless ones fit and where should a fella get them from? Thanks in advance.

Those are made by Trico. What don’t you like?

Two of three online reviews make it sound like those people didn't like the fit at the arm to blade connections.

I think these are direct (Trico) replacements:

Damn, those are expensive.

I ended up getting the NAPA ones. Less than satisfied to say the least but they do fit. They smear the water around less than the refills.

My NAPA ones do not wipe the windshield clean. It is like the rubber doesn't hit correctly. My passenger side works ok so I swapped them out.

I do not think that is expensive for something that works well, and I won’t tolerate anything that doesn’t. It ‘s less than a good meal out.

I got an NOS set of the wiper blades and a set of stainless arms for about a hundred bucks on eBay, money well spent.
